Art Quotes

Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there Picture Quote #1

To great sections of the Church the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the

Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee calls back the lovely April of her prime Picture Quote #1

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created Picture Quote #1

But the long tunnels of art through which I walked in Rome that day had no ragged edges, cowardly colors, or shades of pastel that didn't know what to do with themselves. The wisdom, perfection, and beauty of the colors and forms I passed were more than enough, in their collectivity, to hint at the principles which govern the hereafter, whatever that may be. Indeed, even a detail of one painting can offer solid direction in this regard if one knows how to look Picture Quote #1

Perhaps things are most beautiful when they are not quite real; when you look upon a scene as an outsider, and come to possess it in its entirety and forever; when you live in the present with the lucidity and feeling of memory; when, for want of connection, the world deepens and becomes art Picture Quote #1

We launch our souls from the cannons of art and discipline, and on any one night, hovering over the chimney tops of Europe, halfway to the stars, there are armies of brightly spinning spirits that have risen like fireworks, tethered to the souls of those men and women who, by reflection, mortification, and devotion, effortlessly out dazzle kings Picture Quote #1

Customs and convictions change; respectable people are the last to know, or to admit, the change, and the ones most offended by fresh reflections of the facts in the mirror of art Picture Quote #1

The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius, but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemen's opinions in art and science. If he is, he is a good man. If not, he must be starved Picture Quote #1

To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason? Picture Quote #1

Art is always at peril in universities, where there are so many people, young and old, who love art less than argument, and dote upon a text that provides the nutritious pemmican on which scholars love to chew Picture Quote #1

Little fly, thy summer's play my thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance, and drink, and sing, till some blind hand shall brush my wing Picture Quote #1

O rose, thou art sick! The invisible worm, that flies in the night, in the howling storm, has found out thy bed of crimson joy, and his dark secret love does thy life destroy Picture Quote #1

Art lies in understanding some part of the dark forces and bringing them under the direction of reason Picture Quote #1

It has always been difficult for man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it Picture Quote #1

The vitality of a new movement in art or letters can be pretty accurately gauged by the fury it arouses Picture Quote #1

The foundation of empire is art and science, remove them or degrade them and the empire is no more - empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose Picture Quote #1

The drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion: what is left is theater Picture Quote #1

He who would do good to another must do it in minute particulars: general good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for art and science cannot exist but in minutely organized particulars Picture Quote #1

Literary critics, however, frequently suffer from a curious belief that every author longs to extend the boundaries of literary art, wants to explore new dimensions of the human spirit, and if he doesn't, he should be ashamed of himself Picture Quote #1

Phallic symbols. You know Catholics. I used to draw people naked all the time in my art class and my nun teachers used to tell me I had to put clothes on them. So I just drew lines around their bodies. See-through clothes. (When asked what she used to draw as a kid) Picture Quote #1

There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible Picture Quote #1

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival Picture Quote #1

The theater is the only branch of art much cared for by people of wealth; like canasta, it does away with the brother of talk after dinner Picture Quote #1

The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art Picture Quote #1

The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen Picture Quote #1

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange Picture Quote #1

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music Picture Quote #1

Under the stimulation of a great age or certain period of clarity in art a wider diffusion of genius becomes actual suggests to me that it is always potential Picture Quote #1
